Mr Biden, whose trip was not announced ahead of time, met with Volodymr Zelensky, the Ukrainian president, and said: “I’m here to show our unwavering support for the nation’s independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity."

Speaking at the Mariinsky Palace, he said: "One year later, Kyiv stands. And Ukraine stands. Democracy stands."

He said he would announce another delivery of critical equipment, including artillery ammunition, anti-armor systems, and air surveillance radars to help protect the Ukrainian people from aerial bombardments.
